KTM 125 Duke 2021

KTM 125 Duke 2021

Even in the Euro 5 version, the KTM Duke 125 is the motorbike to beat in the A1 class. Superior equipment, potent engine, good chassis, great display and fun Supermoto mode make not only the heart of 16-year-olds beat faster. The looks polarise, but let the observer clearly recognise the smallest Duke as such. The Duke 125 is not cheap, but it is worth the price.

lively engine

super-agile handling

Supermoto mode as standard

mature chassis

top brakes

sharp TFT display

connectivity (optional)

Optics not to everyone's taste

price high for a 125cc bike

Yamaha MT-03 2021

Yamaha MT-03 2021

The MT-03 remains Yamaha's most accessible and pragmatic Hyper Naked in the segment. It scores with its low seat height, the easily controllable power of the two-cylinder and at the same time offers enough comfort for commuters. What it may lack in sportiness, it makes up for in comfort, making it perfect for people looking for a well-functioning motorbike with a brutal look. However, you shouldn't be too big, and you shouldn't aspire to keep up with the other models in the MT range at the angle - because that's not what it was designed for. The 2020 model year is thus a coherent update that is sure to make its buyers happy.

Easily controlled power

low seat height

easy to ride

low fuel consumption

neatly readable LC display

aggressive look

acute knee angle for tall people

soft chassis compared to other Yamaha MT models

not necessarily the most emotional motorbike
